Paul Dempsey - Idiot Oracle (Official Video)

[@njcooke]

Best aussie songwriter of my generation

[@chrisadams240]

Best singer in Australia but he sounds so much better doing covers than when he sings in something for kate

[@nicksault7992]

It is a tragedy this video only has 83000 views. This was my number one song of 2016. Watching him play it live a few times in a couple of suburban pubs around Australia slightly pissed and high on life was one of the more life affirming moments of my 2016. This song is everything.

[@illnino83]

Still love this song in 2021 👌🏽

[@VoyagerAlex]

How does Paul D make fairly standard chord progressions sound so fucking incredible?! He's the best, Jerry. The best.

[@benschebella673]

they should call it roundtine

[@GR33TINGSEARTHL1NGS]

That's one of my favourite things to find in music, dead simple chords done in a unique and meaningful way.

[@yafucknwanka]

How can anyone listen to this song and not be drawn in to it? Sounds so good live.

[@GR33TINGSEARTHL1NGS]

This song was one of the subjects of my music HSC assessment. One of the most brilliant offerings that class gave me.

[@andrewwian4921]

Best song on the album. Permanently on repeat in my car !

[@cherybomber]

This and Lifetime Supply.

[@andrewwian4921]

+Rod T totally agree. they are my 2 favourites. also love blind spot. reminds me of something the Beatles would do

[@cherybomber]

And Be Somebody. Hell, the entire album is amazing.

[@andrewwian4921]

I would love Paul ( for his own publicity and career) to sing a few more main stream pop songs. Something to get more fans etc. He deserves a few smash hits. I love his alternative music, but a few more main stream songs would be cool also

[@karengilbert3613]

why ?? .a jewel in the rough ( of music ).one of the most artistic aussie musicians with lyric genius.i dont want to have to go rod laver to see him

[@ryanfilce9609]

Anything Paul touches is pure gold . Guess that makes this one a diamond !! The man is a genious as far as i am cocerened . !! Dont ever stop Paul !!

[@BeMyVforever]

I love this song so much, its absolutely haunting!

[@michael1ridley146]

fucking love paul dempsey. hes authentic as fuck and he has this haunting vibe to his strange loop album. i better see him in the jjj top 5 this year he fucking deserves it

[@orfeocookie]

After 18 months, my utter love for this song has not diminished even a fraction. It's one of those songs that feels like magic every time I hear it.

[@doubdoesntknow]

Same, its kinda magic, isnt it?

[@orfeocookie]

Utterly beautiful. This is the one I just keep putting on repeat.

[@AntLarmer]

Paul brilliant! You craft these great songs, melodies and landscapes where listeners can 'leave their brain on the coat stand near the door' and rock out! BUT, if they're lucky, they can catch your words, and actively connect your experiences to their experiences in their lives. You're the oracle mate and I appreciate ya.

[@tailtaptailtap]

Almost a year later, I love this song even more than the day he released it.

[@stefanomanganaro8881]

King

[@mrbeepboy3421]

He is amazing

[@MatthewLewisology101]

Phenomenal. Art at full tilt.

[@BeyondDictation]

I love this more than I love myself

[@stewartkirkland4889]

...it seems I'm gonna have to buy the album now :) Well done Paul!

[@rosesforghosts8065]

Easily my favourite track on your new record , I have absolutely no clue what the lyrics are about, but the chords and the vocal melody moved me from the first time I listened to this.- you probably never read these Paul, but you're a massive inspiration to myself (vocalist) and our bass player. Would mean the world if you would check out some of our music, and I know this is far fetched, but If you ever need an opening band in Perth, we'd be honoured.

[@privatepress9335]

Love this video because you can watch what chords he's playing and figure it out for yourself.

[@minksrule2196]

AAAAAAAAARRRGHH!!!! SO MANY PAUL DEMPSEYS!!!!!!

[@mhd720]

This brought me to tears thinking of lost loved ones

[@tokenytoken]

Absolutely love this song, along with all your new solo stuff, keep it up mate!

[@cacarotossongs]

Perfect!!

[@garylennon7932]

wow, love this.

[@steveparker8579]

Genius!

[@OtsilX]

Great... i barely got through learning Out the Airlock, Now you drop this on us. Give us a chance Paul

[@chrisc1436]

Killer that the chorus only gets sung twice.. Makes for lots of repeating of the song haha

[@DavidRNAU]

A nice song

[@davidrichards7232]

Beautiful

[@rolandgarros1000]

So good.

[@elena14369]

👌👌👌😍😍😍😍

[@lisazucca1897]

❤️💔

[@renzo590]

Just love it.

[@stephe7526]

The crocodile bit though 😂😂😂

[@michael1ridley146]

fucken great song. that is all

[@martinh88]

I enjoyed this.

[@PeterPatterson-vt2cx]

I would have to say that the JJJ ‘like a version’ live, is the best version of this song. He’s best heard live. I would say. In my humble opinion.

[@スペース-o2h]

Sounds great, have an Anberlin feel to it =) If only Anberlin was still together :(

[@jesteronetime]

Anberlin??. What's there best stuff to check out 😗

[@maynardkeen85]

Fucking love this song

[@davidbrownlee8903]

Got a suitcase full of happily ever afters

[@thenotsolateshow7819]

Check out Paul's interview on The Not So Late Show @eZgI

[@jesteronetime]

Hi rotation

[@nicolegodfrey3462]

Love the track. Leave the visuals, what a distraction!

[@MatthewLewisology101]

If you’ve gone through a divorce, it resonates.

[@tristanwarner1046]

!!!!

[@heathpiper9604]

Doth my ear holes deceive me? Video version different to the album? Also, in a bizzaro version of The Matrix, Neo is sent to find the "Idiot oracle". Hilarity ensues.

[@ibcamwhobu]

"Video version different to the album?" What sounds different to you? Interesting if true, but I can't hear anything different. Maybe you happened to hear the opening bit clearer for the first time? I can't hear it when wearing cheaper earbuds at a lower volume, so it could be missed easily.

[@TheDive99]

Dont know nuthin; bout no spydus.
